I am curious about a little insight on how you all afford all these tests and treatment? I am by no means broke, but at the same time cannot afford to cough up $500.00 to who knows how much for all these tests my doc wants us to do. I have a great ppo, but it still doesn't cover infertility testing or treatment. How do you do it?

Like Pauline said - you do what you have to do. Just spent $10,000 yesterday - ouch! Put it on the credit card (low interest) and then will do something with that over the next 6 months (ie loan).

Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
